One week after the World Jiu-Jitsu competition, fighters over 30 years old also had their opportunity to show how good they are in mat. The 2nd International Jiu-Jitsu Masters and Seniors that took place on August 5th at the Tijuca Tennis Club Gym in Rio de Janeiro was a complete success. Here are some quick results:

Fernando Pinduka (Carlson), the man who first fought Marco Ruas in NHB (in 1986), submitted all of his opponents, winning in the heavy and open senior categories

Ricardo Libòrio (Brazilian Top Team) decided not to fight in the Worlds because of the death of his student, Jean Mesquita. One week later, Libòrio won the medium-heavy master category, defeating Flàvio Carneiro (21-0) and in the final Andrè King for a big point advantage
